Anybody ever had this problem

Nope it happens to standard trucks too lol ask me how I know.
 
For the original question, no it has not happened to me. I have heard about adrenalines causing it, but I think it had to do with the wrong settings.

You don't read all that well do you?

If the ADR causes it, it is only because it is one of the hottest boxes out there. OP has a Comp though. You have no wire tap?

If you could read a little better I was referring to homewreckers statement. Also if you would read a little better, our last posts were less than a minute apart. Unwad your panties sweetheart.
 
I don't understand how a manual trans truck can die this way. You would have to hit the clutch.

OP, wire in a TC lock up switch if you don't already have it. With the switch locked, try it again.

Of course it had to be clutched. However the last time it happened, I had coasted at least 1/8th-1/4 mile and clutched it to turn a corner and downshift, and straight to nothin.

After I first got the truck I had to teach myself to be easy on it when lifting. That's honestly the biggest dislike I have for the vp after switching from a ppump truck.

You should never lift that quick anyway, unless you like to back peddle your turbo.

Your telling me it ran for several seconds after you let off, then you clutched, and it died?

Charger didn't bark on this occasion. I was doing a little test and the road came up a bit quick is the only reason I backed out that quick. But... Yes it ran for several seconds. Now that I think more on it, probably right around 1/8th mile.
 
Hm. Having forced the pump to turn for several seconds should have been enough to to reprime and at least keep running after clutching, even if choppy. Guess I'm wrong and you air locked it really good.

It was an odd occasion. I'm not certain there wasn't other issues that assisted in the air lock on that occasion.
 
Anyway moral of the story is just slowly let off and you should be fine. (Directed to the OP.)
 
mine does it, I have 150s and an adrenaline, 6 spd, mine died once on me also, came to a suprise stop sign after a hard run, ran like chit for a few seconds than shut off
 
Seems like a lot of pump stretch can attribute to this problem also.(accompanied by large injectors)

Yup, this is exactly what I was thinking of when the Adrenaline was brought up. Too many people playing with setting that they really didn't understand then their truck started running like ****.:doh:
 
Air lock caused by draining the vp's head/rotor. Fuel supply has little to do with it. I've never bothered to figure it out, I just lift easy and keep a 3/4 wrench in the truck.

I had one truck that would air lock at the drop of a hat, changed the ecm and it never happened again. The ecm I removed was stuck at max timing, seems odd it would cause that.
 
get used to it, and learn to come off the throttle easy, and/or blip the throttle as the engine comes back to an idle. Mine did it to me in the middle of D.C. rush hour years ago, people behind me were almost as happy about it as I was.

i air locked mine the first night i had the ts mvp on. wasn't paying attention and needed to turn but i was on the throttle hard. in my case the timing from the mvp seemed to be the issue. now i let off the throttle slowly.
